Name: You've Gone
Duration: P00H04M25S
Description: Imagine a scenario when the person you’ve been with and loved for years has decided to leave you, and actually followed up on the notion. Luckily that’s a fictional scenario for me, but it’s something I can still imagine and know how devastated I’d be if it really happened. Hopefully, I’ll never know in real life!

lyrics

You’ve Gone - Stephen Leigh

Evening starlight filled your eyes
I miss you
You saw right through my disguise
And made me anew
Time passed by without a care
And you’ve gone
Mmm, you’ve gone

Ah, the life we used to share
I needed you
Bonds tangled me all unaware
Around you
You gave me joy
Still you’ve gone

CHORUS
There were times when we were close
I could feel you
And we seemed happier than most
Or was that untrue?
You said you’d stay
I believed you
Yet you’ve gone
Now you’re gone

SOLO

The pledge we made was a decoy
Not for me but you
A golden toy you would destroy
And bid me adieu
A forgotten affair
And you’ve gone

REPEAT CHORUS

Easy Way Down
by Eamon O'Leary and Jefferson Hamer (The Murphy Beds)

I LOVE this duo. Eamon plays the bouzouki, an instrument I just picked up to learn. Their voices blend perfectly, and I like the Celtic/Folk influence on their songs. Check 'em out! Stephen Leigh
